Black-hawk Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 American English > British English. I mean, it sounds nicer and is 10000 times easier to pronounce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TenaciousD. Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Is that supposed to be British English? Indeed.

He just needs help. It doesn't matter what type of english is better, and I don't see how people can say one language is better then another. Seems pretty ignorant to me. Dialect is specific to regions so of course it may be harder to pronounce the same words when your in a different place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nlitement Posted April 14, 2008 Share Posted April 14, 2008 Well... Forgot who originally made up the language? Germans? Germans + French actually. But I wouldn't trust even them with 2 drawn sheep's There weren't such concepts as German. There were tribes. Britain was originally inhabited solely by Celtic tribes who are now our beloved, cuddly little Scotsmen, Irishmen, and Manxs. Later, Angles (the origin for the word "English"), Saxons, and a bunch of others tribes moved to England, bringing their Germanic language(s) with them. At that time, Old Norse and the Germanic spoken in Britain were mutually intelligible, so that way their language was influenced by Vikings. English became insular, meaning that it didn't regularly interact with mainland Germanic languages, effecting the modern English language that is very different from its contemporary relatives. Examples of Norse words that other Germanic languages don't have but English does include skull (Swedish skalle), bone (Swedish ben), knife (Swedish kniv), etc. After the Norman invasion French opened the gates of Hell upon English and heavily changed its orthography and vocabulary.
